pm8001_pci_probe(9)

💅 pm8001_pci_probe(9) — the "probe supported device" era 💅

ok so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and bestie, we're about to get into pm8001_pci_probe — the function whose whole personality is "probe supported device" ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

pm8001_pci_probe — probe supported device 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int pm8001_pci_probe (struct pci_dev *pdev , const struct pci_device_id
*ent );

literally the whole signature, no cap 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• pdev — the pci device that the kernel has already gotten all prepped and ready for you. it's giving "everything's set up, now do ur thing" 💖
• ent — the pci device id 🎫

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so this one is the main initialization function. when you register a new pci driver, this is the function that gets invoked — main character energy fr fr 👑

all the struct initialization and all the hardware initialization? that's supposed to happen right here, bestie. everything. and also — register interrupt. yes, that too, don't forget it 💅

so basically: structs ✅ hardware ✅ interrupts ✅ all in this one function. iconic behavior honestly.
